Walking in the Dark
Night walking requires additional safety measures. First, you need to make sure you can be seen by any autos you may encounter. Drivers often don't think that anybody would be out after dark. You may also want to take additional personal safety precautions, and carry a flashlight so you can see holes and road hazards.

Hello Darkness
Do you fear walking in the dark? What do you fear? When did you first have this fear? What steps could you take to reassure yourself?

Night Cravings
Many people find it easy to stick with their eating plans during the day. They have no breakfast or a light one, a light and healthy lunch, and avoid snacking. But then at the dinner hour they can't take it any longer and end up overeating, or going back for desserts and bags of salty snacks while watching TV. How to beat this habit? First, use the food diary to pinpoint this habit and when it affects you most. Then plan better what to eat, and how often, during the day so you aren't left ravenous by the end of the day. Plan a healthy meal and evening snack so you aren't left at loose ends.
